Testimonials
It was a great experience and I really enjoyed knowing more than just the alphabet. I thank sir for coming and I will remember this always.
Good learning experience and the teacher was nice and helped us understand from his own perspective how to speak – showed us basic everyday words that apperaed confusing, VERY GOOD.
The experience has been amazing , as I have learnt lots of new ways in communicating.
It was fun to learn sign language because it is something I never thought I could or would.
Really enjoyed and I like learning through conversation.
Aftab taught us how everyone is unique and it’s OK to be different.
I found it inspirational to learn a new language from scratch

Developed our intellectual skills. The lessons were good. Really enjoyable.
Aftab was very easy to follow and was quick to help when we found a sign too difficult.
I learnt a good amount of sign language which could be implied to everyday life.
Learning something different.

***** (5 Stars)
I really enjoyed it, I feel like we learnt a lot but it wasn’t too serious so it was lots of fun.
Always answered our questions and made sure we understood what was going on.
Good amount of time to practice.
Better than learning French.
It’s good to talk to someone who is from the non hearing world.
I enjoyed learning the sign language because my brother is deaf and it will help me at home.
I knew nothing about sign language before. And I can help someone with sign language.

Good teacher, very interesting + useful.
Just thought you should know that the girls REALLY enjoyed the session yesterday they were showing me signs and were really buzzing!
BSL was an amazing experience, wherein I was able to expand my skills and hopefully aid the wider community with the knowledge I have learnt. Thank you!
I have really enjoyed your sessions with us and I know the children have! Thank you, you have been a great teacher.
Absolutely fantastic workshop. Really engaging and the children enjoyed it! We all would love to learn more and wish the session was longer!
Aftab taught pupils from aged 7-16. He inspired the pupils he worked with and they all found the lessons, engaging and challenging. We look forward to him coming back to Ackworth School as the pupils learned a great deal and want the lessons to continue. The lessons were imaginative and interactive.
I thought it was great that Mr Hussain could come in and teach us what it is like to communicate differently.
Very clearly taught and structured. Was good and really helpful learning how to sign in a conversational way, rather than just vocab.
We have used Aftab for enrichment work with our year 9 students, which has been really empowering for the students as they begin to learn a valuable life skill.
Aftab delivered fun and informative signing sessions over 4 weeks. Our clients thoroughly enjoyed them and learned a lot!
Aftab has delivered the Sign Language Course to our students over the past few years. The students found the course to be enjoyable and it helped them to understand the difficulties of communication faced by those with hearing impairment.
He was very good at teaching us, he had a lot of patience and helped each individual in the class.
The course was highly engaging and allowed me to broaden my knowledge – it now allows me to communicate with a wider range of people.
I absolutely loved today. Its been very informative … I would love to learn more Sign Language. And Aftab is adorable and so kind!
We’ve learnt lots of new things and it was a really fun experience. It was interesting every week and we would love to learn more.
The course was an eye opener to the world of Sign Language.
I think the Sign Language course was a fun way to learn a new language and was very involving, it was very good how our teacher didn’t speak to us which made us use our brains to figure out what he was saying which made it easier to remember things. I think overall it was a good experience and I had a good time.
